Launched in October of last year, the Iomega StorCenter ix2 network attached storage (NAS) has been updated. On the menu: the ability to download BitTorrent files, supports Mac (Apple File Protocol, or AFP) and remote access. BitTorrent is supported by most devices in this category, but it is a plus, because nobody would use a PC to download such files. Remote access requires a dynamic domain name, which costs $10 per year (the first year is free). Now it is possible to impose quotas for storage to ensure that all users have fair storage space.

Iomega has introduced two new models of external hard drives for its eGo range: the Encrypt and BlackBelt. The latter includes the Drop Guard Xtreme feature that preserves your data in case of a fall. Regarding the Encrypt, you have the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard to secure your data, providing a password protection with an encryption software pre-installed. The Encrypt is available fo the price of $150, while the BlackBelt costs $120 with a 250GB of storage space.
